Bacon Bash: A day to celebrate one of Pittsburgh favorite foods, BACON!

Vegetarians click here. Bacon lovers, read on! MrBaconPants is back in Pittsburgh, this time with the Bacon Bash at Harris Grill on Ellsworth in Shadyside. They really couldn't have picked a better spot for the event. Harris Grill is well known for their bacon nights on Tuesdays. That's where they have baskets of bacon sitting on the bar in place of stale peanuts and pretzels.

Last year, MrBaconPants was at Harris Grill for a bacon tour and it was a huge success. They had a bacon eating competition where some dude ate an entire 3 pounds of bacon in three minutes! 85 people were there chomping on gourmet bacon eats, and that was the day after the G20… this year is bound to be even more exciting.

Seriously, it doesn't get much better than this if you love beer and bacon. For 35 bucks you get the chance to try:

• Bacon pierogies
• Mini BLT sliders
• Bacon-wrapped meatballs
• Chocolate-covered bacon
• Bacon sushi
• Bacon horseradish spread w/ pretzels
• Bacon breadsticks
• Bacon shot glasses filled w/ cheesy mashed potatoes
• Bacon cupcakes
• Bacon wrapped tofu

The cover also includes a drink (beer or cosmo), entry in the bacon eating contest (if you want), and more. They want your shirt size when you order tickets, so it sounds like some MrBaconPants gear is included in the deal – and who knows what other fun stuff is in store! One thing for sure, go with an empty stomach.
